Why Fork Mount Bike Racks Are Better for Campervans

✅ Full Rear Door Freedom Tired of massive swing gates or racks you have to remove just to open the doors? The Bike-Hook mounts directly to your rear door, not a trailer hitch. That means you can open one or both doors without removing your bikes—perfect for grabbing gear or sleeping without a hassle.

Bike-Hook vs. Hitch Racks: What Every Van Owner Should Know

Hitch Racks: Bikes often sway, rattle, or even make contact with each other. Theft is easier with open frames exposed.  There have been many stories of welds breaking from heavy loads bouncing down the road.  A large bicycle hitch system failure can create a driving accident.  These should be checked frequently for cracks and bends.  Bike-Hook: Holds bikes upright and close to the van. Once the rear doors are shut, the mounts are locked in place—can’t be removed until reopened.  A stainless steel safety cable is added for extra protection.

Access Without the Swing: Unlike traditional bike racks that swing out 4 feet or more, Bike-Hooks let you open your rear doors anytime, even with bikes mounted. Budget-friendly: Bike-Hooks offer a fraction of the cost of bulky swing racks or vertical hitch carriers.
